recently, a japanese media opinion poll showed that shinjiro koizumi, the son of former japanese prime minister junichiro koizumi and former environment minister, is expected to become the next japanese prime minister.
shinjiro koizumi has planned to formally announce his candidacy for the presidency of the liberal democratic party next week. koizumi is only 43 years old this year. if he wins the election and becomes the next prime minister of japan, it will be seen as a sign of generational change in the liberal democratic party of japan.
earlier this month, japanese prime minister fumio kishida announced that he had no intention of seeking re-election as president of the liberal democratic party, meaning he had voluntarily given up the opportunity to serve as the next prime minister.
according to the ldp's rules, the ldp presidential election will be held from september 20 to 29. the official 15-day campaign period will begin on september 12. voting and vote counting will take place on september 27. so far, more than 10 people within the ldp have expressed interest in running for the election.
polls show that shinjiro koizumi currently has the highest support rate and is expected to win the ldp presidential election, which means he may become the next japanese prime minister.
shinjiro koizumi, 43, is the son of former japanese prime minister junichiro koizumi. the koizumi family can be described as a hereditary political family. in addition to junichiro koizumi, shinjiro koizumi's great-grandfather matajiro koizumi was the former minister of communications of japan, and his grandfather junichiro koizumi was the former director-general of the defense agency of japan.
on wednesday, koizumi's office announced that shinjiro koizumi will hold a press conference on september 6 to formally announce his candidacy for the ldp presidency. koizumi had intended to announce his candidacy this week, but he postponed the announcement, perhaps because of the approaching typhoon shanshan, the 10th typhoon this year.
if koizumi officially announces, he will be the second "post-kishida" candidate under the age of 50 after former minister of economic affairs and security takayuki kobayashi (49), who has already announced his candidacy.
according to the nikkei poll results, in the public opinion poll, shinjiro koizumi's approval rating reached 23%, ranking first in the poll. following closely behind was former ldp secretary-general shigeru ishiba, with an approval rating of 18%. japan's minister of economic security sanae takaichi ranked third with an approval rating of 11%.
if the results are narrowed down to the opinions of ldp supporters, koizumi's advantage in victory is even more obvious: koizumi ranks first with 32% support, followed by takaichi with 15% support and ishiba shigeru with 14%.
among respondents who do not support a specific political party, koizumi ranked first with 20% support, followed by ishiba shigeru with 17%.
in terms of parties, the poll showed that the liberal democratic party had a support rate of 36%, the constitutional democratic party of japan had a support rate of 8%, the japan reform party had a support rate of 7%, and 34% of people did not support any specific party.
